Get ready to tailgate with these ideas:
Simple Sweaters
Is preppy and polished the name of your game? Keep it up as you go to the gridiron by pulling on a simple fall sweater or sweater vest in the color of your team. It's especially ideal for cooler days thanks to the many layering options. Plus, there are so many ways to style them!
Statement Pants
Paige Drummond is always providing the best game day inspo as she watches her alma mater play. Take a cue for this year's football season by donning some eye-catching pants like her jeans decorated in school-color motifs. You can also mix it up with other bold fabrics and fun patterns.
Matching Set
If MVP trophies were awarded for fabulous style, Taylor Swift would definitely deserve one! She's dressed head-to-toe in a matching set to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. And just look at those finishing touches like tall red boots, a chic purse, and big jewelry—it's a total touchdown!
Flowy Blouse and Jeans
You can always count on Ree for a little football flair! Here, she wears a tried-and-true flowy blouse, but in team colors! This look can easily be dressed up or down—and paired with plenty of accessories.
Denim and Cowboy Hats
Down, set, denim! That's how the phrase goes, right? To copy this game day style seen on the Drummond girls, wear a neutral blouse with your favorite denim. Alex went with jeans, whereas Paige wears a denim skirt. Then, tie it all together with a charming cowboy hat!
Flannel Jacket
Everyone loves Paige's simple football stands style to the end zone and back! Throw a flannel on top of your football gear for the perfect balance of sporty and chic. You can even coordinate the colors to match your team.
Little Black Dress
LBD's really can be worn for any event—and that includes football games. Take it from Alex Drummond! It's because they're so chic and so easy to pair with anything. This outfit idea can even work for team to team, no matter who you're rooting for.
Graphic Tee and Jeans
Keep it simple by wearing a t-shirt with the logo of your favorite team and pairing it with jeans! This is Ree's go-to outfit when watching her boys play. Slip on comfortable sandals if the weather is warm like her or go with white sneakers like Paige.
Bomber Jacket
Hannah Ann Sluss wore a super cool satin varsity bomber jacket while cheering on her boyfriend, Jake Funk, to a win at the Super Bowl. Take a hint from her and grab one this year. It just might be good luck!
Casual Jersey
The easiest way to show your support throughout the football season? By wearing a team jersey, of course! The baseball jersey seen here can easily be traded out for football getup. If you're wanting a casual look, jeans are the way to go.
Dressed Up Jersey
Here's another way to wear a jersey on the big day. To make it a bit dressier, opt for pleated shorts or pants instead of denim. And never underestimate the power of bold jewelry and a fun lip color to really bring an outfit to life.
Team Color Accessories
Ree posted this look on Instagram with the caption, "She's fierce. She's fixated. She's a FOOTBALL MOM." Translation: She's definitely got us covered when it comes to game day outfits. We love how she brings her blouse and jeans together with accessories that match Todd's team.
Blouse and Shacket
Thanks to years of rooting for her brothers and her college team, Alex Drummond is no stranger to cute sideline style. From the leather shorts to the pretty blouse topped off with a shacket, you'll definitely be a fan of this outfit.
Team Color Coat
Friday or Saturday night lights may call for extra layers in some parts of the country. Luckily, after years of chilly football weather in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, you've got Ree to help you out. Her coat, which matches Todd's uniform, is a winner in our book.
Sweats Set
If extra coziness is your goal for a day spent on the couch watching the big game, wear a matching jogger set or sweats in the shade of your team. Now you're free to munch on all the Super Bowl snacks without feeling uncomfy.
